Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 weeks, with 3-week gaps between each stage. Half of the interviewers were new at Dropbox (<6 months). The coding environment was not adequate for the language, and the requirements were very scripted.
